NEW YORK & LONDON - I-play, Oberon Media's publishing division and the world's leading multi-platform casual games publisher, today announced Hip Hop All Star for iPhone and iPod touch. In Hip Hop All Star, players scratch and spin their way to DJ stardom to the tune of an original and exclusive playlist from 12 top-selling hip hop artists, mixing classic old-school hip hop with the new-school hip hop.

Hip Hop All Star's breakthrough real-time scratching technology and flawless touch-screen controls provide innovative and addicting gameplay from the block party all the way to the hippest clubs. Players must tap notes in rhythm with the music and scratch the turntables to perform in five different party locations. With WiFi and BlueTooth Multi-player modes, players can challenge friends to real-time DJ battles and use power ups to bust out scratch tricks and wow the crowd (and their friends). Once the first 12 songs are mastered, players can increase the set list with new downloadable tracks as they continue to spin, scratch and rock the party. In addition, the best of the best can earn DJ bragging rights by sharing their high scores with friends using the game's Facebook Connect feature.

"Hip Hop All Staris the most authentic DJ'ing experience you can get in a game," said DJ Green Lantern. "And be sure to check out the iPhone to iPhone DJ battles, and lay down a beat on your opponent anywhere, anytime." "Hip Hop All Staris the hip hop lover's DJ game," said Don Ryan, chief operating officer at Oberon Media. "We think this will set the bar high as the first hip hop DJ game to hit the market, offering top -tier talent on a portable platform."

Hip Hop All Star is now available through select mobile carriers, and is scheduled for release in the Apple App Store in September.
